Ida Scott, first seen on screen in the 2006 Doctor Who episode, The Impossible Planet, makes her return in a brand-new audio adventure, impeccably portrayed once more by Claire Rushbrook.
Joining her in the cast are Silas Carson (in a dual role as Ida’s father, Odysseus Scott, and the voice of the Ood) and Jay Perry (as Tom, Odysseus’s sweet, but lost, assistant).
Torchwood: Odyssey, written by Patrick O’Connor, is now available to own as a collector’s edition 1-disc CD (+ download for just £10.99) or as a digital download only (for just £8.99).

Producer James Goss said: “It’s very sad seeing Claire Rushbrook back in a story that could be about the rebirth of a species but is really about how grief sometimes arrives before the death itself.
“She reunites with the father she’s been running away from all these years. He’s on his deathbed and he’s a bitter man – he’s losing his speech and is haunted by the irony that years ago he sold his voice. Thrill to hear Claire Rushbrook and Silas Carson go at it hammer and tongs.”
Praise for recent Torchwood – Monthly Range stories:
“[Torchwood: Dog Hop is] one of the best releases in one of Big Finish’s best ranges. Completely barking, but utterly brilliant.”
Doctor Who Magazine
“[Torchwood: Sigil is] a great reintroduction to the range, a fun mystery to re-listen to, and a beautiful if unfortunate farewell to the talented Murray Melvin.”
Nerdgazm
“A working-class rom-com that doesn’t exist anywhere else, and really should. [Torchwood: Launch Date] is clever, and a crackingly good story.”
